I was able to find all the books you folks mentioned via Amazon.com, and all (except for Machinery's Handbook) for just a whisker over $50 total, including shipping.

Gawd, I love the Internet...

Thanks again, folks.

Glad to hear it! I think you"re right--this Internet thingie is going to catch on.... Midwest Redneck is right--the Machinery"s Handbook (and the American Machinists"s Handbook for that matter) are more reference manuals than they are textbooks, but both have some very handy stuff in them. Even an older edition will have lots of good, relevant stuff--the rules of Trig, the melting point of 6061 aluminum, and such haven"t changed a whole lot in the last 50 years, and as they"re about the same age as your lathe, a lot of the stuff will be relevant to your machine, whereas a newer one with lots of CNC stuff isn"t going to be applicable anyway.

What does the Machine tool practices book cost from Amazon? (I paid $36 for it in 1989) The machinery handbook the 2600 page (bible) as it is called is $85 or so, you can get this at J-L industrial supply 800-521-9520. The machinery handbook is not a text book as much as a reference book.

Hi Fawteen,

Here is another great source for used books. I see now they also sell new books but I've never checked there new book pricing.

They do stand behind there used books tho as I had one seller send me 2/3 of a book. She made them send me another one without any charges.

abebookscom

It's not letting me post a URL link.
